Shui Xiang smiled and nodded, then walked towards Li Yang, "Let me introduce you, this is Boss Zhuang, the big boss of Western European Jade. Ninety percent of the jade from Western Europe in our gambling stone market comes from Boss Zhuang."
"This is Master Zhang. Although he is not old, he is Boss Zhuang's right-hand man and capable assistant."
"And this is Li Yang, my partner, whom I just mentioned to you."
"Hello, Boss Li." Although Boss Zhuang was still a little surprised, he extended his hand to Li Yang and showed a friendly smile.
Li Yang smiled and shook hands with him, saying, "Boss Zhuang, it's nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
"And Master Zhang. You've all been waiting for me for a long time, I'm really sorry."
"Boss Li, you're too kind. We came all this way, and we were going to rest anyway," Boss Zhuang said with a smile. "Even if we waited for you for another hour or two, it wouldn't delay things."
"Boss Zhuang is truly a good person," Li Yang chuckled, then got down to business, "But let's get the important things done first, and then we can sit down, eat, and chat. It's not too late."
"Xiao Zhang, open the car door and let Boss Li see the goods," Boss Zhuang said with a smile and a nod.
Master Zhang said, "Okay," turned around, and opened the car door, revealing the stones piled inside. "Boss Li, please inspect the goods."
"Alright, thank you," Li Yang nodded and walked to the car door to look inside.
Although the jade produced in Western Europe was not as good as that from Southern Myanmar overall, its quality was still quite good. Moreover, the price was much more favorable than jade from Southern Myanmar.
And as more and more young gambling stone players entered the circle, the once niche gambling stone circle became larger and younger.
Young people pursued more diversified consumption experiences than older people, so relying solely on stones from Southern Myanmar would inevitably fail to satisfy these young consumers.
Moreover, with the continuous production of Western European jade and its increasing entry into the market, its reputation was also growing, and its audience was becoming larger.
Although its status was not as high as Southern Myanmar jade, it would also be a very important variety in gambling stones in the future.
Shui Xiang was indeed a self-made boss. She had seen the trend of market changes early on and had established business dealings and good commercial relationships with major Western European jade merchants like Boss Zhuang. If the market trend changed in the future, she could take advantage of it to strengthen herself.
Seeing Li Yang standing at the car door looking inside and not getting into the car to examine the stones, Master Zhang asked suspiciously, "Boss Li, aren't you coming into the car to inspect the goods?"
"There's no need for such trouble. It's the same looking from here," Li Yang said with a smile. His eyes flickered, and he could tell the quality of the stones in the car at a glance.
However, Master Zhang found him unprofessional and couldn't help but feel a bit of disdain and contempt.
Heh, even a master of gambling stones wouldn't dare to say that he could see the quality of the stones in the car from outside the car. What are you pretending to be, kid?
This is simply ridiculous!
Boss Zhuang, standing behind Li Yang, also felt that Li Yang was too pretentious and couldn't help but shake his head. He thought that if Boss Shui found such a partner, she would likely suffer greatly in the future.
She is my big client, I must remind her well. Otherwise, if something happens to her, my interests will also be affected.
"Boss Shui, how high is Boss Li's gambling stone appraisal skill?" he asked with feigned confusion. "As far as I know, even those gambling stone masters who have been famous for many years wouldn't dare to stand outside the car and tell the quality of the stones just by looking inside."
"Could it be that Boss Li's gambling stone ability is much more advanced than veteran gambling stone masters?"
"Boss Zhuang, you have sharp eyes. Regarding Li Yang's professional level in this area, let alone veteran treasure appraisal masters, even veteran treasure appraisal grandmasters might not be his match," Shui Xiang said, looking at him with surprise, then smiling brightly and nodding.
Boss Zhuang was dumbfounded. No, my intention was clearly to make you sober up, but why did you praise this Boss Li after hearing it?
How old is this kid?
If he's more powerful than a gambling stone grandmaster, then isn't this kid like an immortal?
Boss Shui, Boss Shui, are you sure you're not seeing an immortal through the eyes of love?
He immediately wanted to speak more directly and persuade Shui Xiang again to be more sober and not be blinded by love.
But at this moment, Shui Xiang walked to Li Yang's side, put her arm around his, and said, "You've worked hard. What do you think of these stones?"
"Some of the stones are good. If the price is right, we can buy them," Li Yang said with a smile.
Shui Xiang said, "I always do business with Boss Zhuang at fifty thousand yuan per stone, regardless of size. See which ones are suitable, and we'll buy them."
"Fifty thousand yuan per stone?" Li Yang's heart rejoiced. Not only was the price fixed, but it was also a fixed price, and there would be no further increases.
This time, they were going to make a lot of money.
"Then we need to prepare at least ten million yuan."
"The money is not a problem. You choose the stones," Shui Xiang nodded and said.
Boss Zhuang saw her incredibly trusting expression and couldn't help but sigh for her in his heart. This Boss Shui, who was once a very smart woman, was actually confused by love and listened to this man's every word.
"Boss Li, if you like any of the stones, just direct my temporary workers to move them off the car."
"Alright, Boss Zhuang," Li Yang said with a smile, then pointed out the stones that were far beyond fifty thousand yuan one by one.
"We'll take these twenty-three stones. Can we get a discounted price of ten million yuan in total?"
"No problem, consider it a welcome gift for Boss Li on our first meeting," Boss Zhuang agreed immediately, then had the temporary workers mark these stones and send them into the warehouse.
Shui Xiang paid the money in full, "This cooperation is very pleasant. Boss Zhuang, would you like to stay for dinner before leaving?"
"No, we still have a few places to go, so we won't disturb you," Boss Zhuang shook his head, then got into the car with Master Zhang.
Shui Xiang said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
As the car started, Master Zhang couldn't help but say, "Boss, that guy named Li doesn't understand the business at all. He's just pretending. I think Boss Shui will lose a lot of money on this ten million yuan."
"I can see that too. It's a pity that Boss Shui is blinded by love," Boss Zhuang sneered. "In the future, I think there will only be one gambling stone market in Jiangcheng. Boss Shui will eventually go bankrupt due to that kid's losses."
"They all say that a beautiful woman is a disaster, but I think this man is also a disaster!"
"Boss, are you talking about that Boss Li?" the driver asked suspiciously, looking at them.
He was a local and had been hired by the wealthy gambling stone market before, so he knew some things. "Then you are completely mistaken. That Boss Li is a very capable person. He just spent ten million yuan nonchalantly, and he will definitely earn hundreds of millions in return!"
